Great location for Broadstairs friendly happy staff.
Pros:

The breakfast was lovely especially the granola and porridge,
The pancakes were one of the best I have had very yummy.
We were on the top floor with lovely views of the beach.
When the hotel found out it was my birthday they brought out a piece of cake with a candle and sang happy birthday to me. We had just finished eating a huge breakfast but just had to eat the cake too. 🤣😂
Then we were given a card for two complementary drinks.
The staff were very welcoming and friendly. Will definitely book to stay again. Thank you.

Pros:

Breakfast was fantastic,lovely produce served with a smile and all requests catered for

Cons:

Whilst there was an excellent range of draught beers on offer, they were served too warm, we reported this to the bar staff and they told us that they were serving them at cellar temperature without a chiller which they considered correct. It definitely wasn’t right so we chose to drink elsewhere. Such a shame when charging hotel prices for warm beer!🤷🏻‍♂️
